Jerry and Phoebe Remy are the parents of a 35-year-old monster with a long history of hurting women — particularly pregnant ones — but they haven’t reached that point yet. Their son Jared is evil to the core, but they still visit him in jail. They presumably pay for his lawyers. They probably hope and pray he will once again come before a pliable Massachusetts judge and avoid the harshest penalties allowed by law.

Somehow this doesn’t sit well with many Red Sox fans who think Jerry Remy should no longer be allowed to sit in the NESN booth with Don Orsillo and talk about baseball. Yesterday morning on WEEI we took dozens of phone calls and hundreds of texts from people who wanted Remy to lose his job. Because his son is a violent, incorrigible thug and because he didn’t disown him.

Interestingly, we did not hear from one person who demanded the firing of Neil J. Walker or Gregory C. Flynn, two of the judges who refused to put Jared Remy where he belonged — behind bars.

Jerry Remy does not deny that he enabled his son, and he admits the approach he and his wife took went horribly, tragically wrong. They spent fortunes on doctors, therapists, pharmacologists and lawyers. They paid for cars and apartments, got him a plum job with the Red Sox, and even took custody of the child an 18-year-old Jared had with his 15-year-old girlfriend.

It failed. They failed. Jerry Remy knows that better than anyone. After two decades of strangling, shoving, slapping, punching and threatening women, Jared Remy finally took his penchant for violence to another level, allegedly murdering Jennifer Martel on Aug. 15, 2013, in front of their 5-year-old daughter, Arianna. It was not the worst nightmare a family can live through — that claim is reserved for the Martels — but the Remys’ world was turned upside down nonetheless.

Remy took a leave from NESN in August and did not return until earlier this month. He said at the time that he didn’t know how long his return would last; he was just going to go back to work and see how it went. Jerry knew there were more shoes to drop, and two days ago, drop they did.

On Sunday the Globe ran an exhaustive and disturbing story on Jared Remy’s nearly two-decade-long reign of terror, and the state of Massachusetts’ failure to protect women from him. The story was not good for Jerry Remy, but many expected worse. There were no stories of Jerry swapping tickets or autographs for special treatment for Jared. Maybe those are coming, but we haven’t heard them yet. Remy denies the explosive charge that his family convinced Martel not to renew the restraining order against Jared the night before the murder. At this point there is no fireable offense by Jerry Remy.

While all the money and support from Jerry and Phoebe clearly did not help the situation, it seems a stretch to say some good old-fashioned tough love would have deterred this misogynistic animal. His parents could have thrown him out in the street, changed the locks, cut up the credit cards, and it probably would not have mattered one bit. He was still going to hurt women. It’s what he did. There is evil in the world. In this case, it features a famous father, a good lawyer and a broken judicial system.

For 35 years, Jerry and Phoebe held out hope that this bad seed could change, that the new medication would be the difference, the new therapist, the new job, the new girlfriend. Something would finally click and they would all awake from the nightmare together. Jared did 81 days in jail in late 2005. According to the Globe, he gave his father’s autograph to fellow inmates who would shave his back in return. Jail apparently didn’t scare him straight. Nothing did. Probably nothing ever will.

If convicted, Jared Remy should face the death penalty, but sadly in this state, that won’t happen. And I think his father should be able to go to work and do his job, as long as he wants, as long as he can. Can he do it? Not sure. We’ll find out. He’ll find out.

Jerry Remy has answered questions and done some interviews, which is more accountability than you’ll get in a lifetime from Judges Walker and Flynn. And they did more to fuel Jared Remy’s sense of entitlement than Jerry or Phoebe ever did, and yet they say nothing and apologize to no one.

Jerry Remy admits he made mistakes and he knows things will never be the same for Remdawg Inc. But he shouldn’t be stripped of his livelihood and sent home to stare at the walls. Jared should go to prison for the rest of his life. Jerry should go back to work, and, finally and at last, give up on his rotten, hopeless kid.
